Design approach of hologram tutor: A conceptual framework

Abstract

Hologram tutor is a new approach that has potential in attracting students’ attention, especially the young generation who lack interest with traditional delivery methods. In addition, the use of hologram tutor serves as an alternative strategy to deliver information in a more interesting manner, which consequently will provide new experience to the students. Nevertheless, the actual human design use of a hologram tutor may cause some inconvenience or uneasiness among students, adversely affecting students’ emotion in learning. Such a phenomenon is called Uncanny Valley, which was developed through a study by Masahiro Mori in 1970, who also developed a graph to explain such a concept. Against this backdrop, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for the design approach of a hologram tutor with the main aim of enhancing students’ positive emotion in learning. Essentially, this conceptual framework was developed grounded on relevant theories and principles highlighted in the current literature. Additionally, this paper suggests potential future studies to validate the proposed framework.
